Artist Workshop: Monoprinting with oil sticks

Visiting artist Mauricio Cortes Ortega will lead a workshop and demonstration over monoprinting — a form of printmaking that has lines or images that can only be made once.

The artist will highlight the many techniques and approaches to monoprinting — such as oil sticks. He will also discuss the virtues of the monoprinting process and how it is akin to painting and drawing but involves an intermediary step that can be liberating and surprising. Two different approaches will be explored: participants will make one print without an intaglio press and one using the press.
